A congenital medial canthal anomaly was identified as the cause of epiphora in 18 young adult male patients. This anomaly consists of anomalous anterior displacement of the medial palpebral ligament causing a lack of adequate apposition of the medial end of the lower lid to the globe. The lacrimal punctum does not dip into the lacrimal lake, thereby causing epiphora. An innovative surgical technique is described involving the passage of a suture in the pretarsal plane along the lid margin to correct the deformity.
在18例年轻成年男性患者中，先天性内眦异常被确定为溢泪的病因。这种异常表现为睑内侧韧带异常向前移位，导致下睑内侧端与眼球不能充分贴合。泪小点未浸入泪湖，从而引起溢泪。本文描述了一种创新的手术技术，即在睑缘前层平面沿睑缘穿入缝线以矫正畸形。
